▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

Mutualisms (cooperative interactions between species) have had a central role in the
generation and maintenance of life on earth. Insects and plants are involved in diverse forms …

The worldwide decline of pollinators may negatively affect the fruit set of wild and cultivated
plants. Here, we show that fruit set of the self–fertilizing highland coffee (Coffea arabica) is …

Despite the dominating role of pollinators in floral evolution, mounting evidence reveals
significant additional, often antagonistic, influences of abiotic and biotic non-pollinator …

Not all floral visitors attracted to flowers are pollinators. Instead, some visitors circumvent the
floral opening, usually removing nectar without contacting the anthers and/or stigma. Here …

Plants interact with many visitors who consume a variety of plant tissues. While the
consequences of herbivory to leaves and shoots are well known, the implications of florivory …

While the relationship between facilitation and competition has been explored extensively in
recent years, there is also a natural link between facilitation and mutualism, as both are …

Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than half of its …

Summary 1 Pollination of crops depends on local agricultural management and the quality
of adjacent habitats. Lowland coffee Coffea canephora, is an important tropical cash crop …

Mimicry is a classic example of adaptation through natural selection. The traditional focus of
mimicry research has been on defence in animals, but there is now also a highly-developed …
